Sorry about the late post....I'm going to list some questions too. As for checking the coils, it looks pretty intensive, requiring the Tech2, maybe someone here might have another suggestion. These questions and comments are coming stright out of the service manual, you may have answered them earlier, I'm feeling lazy 
Check for any loose grounds, failing alternator, or battery.
Check operating temp.
Are the plugs and plug wires in good condition?
Check fuel pressure and test injectors.
Lightly mist the ignition system, observe any arcs or misfires, may help with finding damaged components.
Test the MAP sensor (I'll look into that later, again, likely requires the Tech2?).
Hope this gives you some ideas....Good luck.

Glad you found the problem and were able to correct it, I'll have to keep it in mind for future reference just in case.

Better to take forever to find a $1 part problem, then to replace everything, spend possibly $100's, then only to find out it was a $1 part. I think we can all use this as a learning tool, or a reinforcing tool, to check the simple things first, and then move on to the more complicated/expensive components.
